pleaseth, and He forgiveth whom He pleaseth: and Allah hath power over all things.
5:41
O Messenger! let not those grieve thee, who race each other into unbelief: (whether it be) among those who say "We
believe" with their lips but whose hearts have no faith; or it be among the Jews,- men who will listen to any lie,- will
listen even to others who have never so much as come to thee. They change the words from their (right) times and
places: they say, "If ye are given this, take it, but if not, beware!" If any one's trial is intended by Allah, thou hast no
authority in the least for him against Allah. For such - it is not Allah's will to purify their hearts. For them there is
disgrace in this world, and in the Hereafter a heavy punishment.
5:42
(They are fond of) listening to falsehood, of devouring anything forbidden. If they do come to thee, either judge
between them, or decline to interfere. If thou decline, they cannot hurt thee in the least. If thou judge, judge in equity
between them. For Allah loveth those who judge in equity.
5:43
But why do they come to thee for decision, when they have (their own) law before them.- therein is the (plain)
command of Allah; yet even after that, they would turn away. For they are not (really) People of Faith.
5:44
It was We who revealed the law (to Moses): therein was guidance and light. By its standard have been judged the
Jews, by the prophets who bowed (as in Islam) to Allah's will, by the rabbis and the doctors of law: for to them was
entrusted the protection of Allah's book, and they were witnesses thereto: therefore fear not men, but fear me, and sell
not my signs for a miserable price. If any do fail to judge by (the light of) what Allah hath revealed, they are (no better
than) Unbelievers.
5:45
We ordained therein for them: "Life for life, eye for eye, nose or nose, ear for ear, tooth for tooth, and wounds equal
for equal." But if any one remits the retaliation by way of charity, it is an act of atonement for himself. And if any fail to
judge by (the light of) what Allah hath revealed, they are (No better than) wrong-doers.
5:46
And in their footsteps We sent Jesus the son of Mary, confirming the Law that had come before him: We sent him the
Gospel: therein was guidance and light, and confirmation of the Law that had come before him: a guidance and an
admonition to those who fear Allah.
